CHAPTER 604: CHAPTER 603: PERSONAL TRANSMISSION ARRAY

Stone Emperor finally looked over at Lin Fan and continued, "Kid, are you willing to join me in seeking revenge? Since the Female Demon has killed you, she is your enemy. Next, we can work together to kill her!"

Lin Fan did not immediately express his stance. Instead, he paused for a moment before saying, "Senior, I am not aware of what exactly happened back then, but I swear to uncover the truth. If Hu Mei’er truly is the Female Demon, I... can only personally take action to kill her!"

Stone Emperor asked, "Do you still love the Female Demon?"

Lin Fan did not speak.

After all, that was a love etched deep in his bones. To be honest, even after five hundred years, forgetting was not an easy feat.

In the end, Stone Emperor saw through Lin Fan’s thoughts and shook his head, "Fine, let’s... first get to the bottom of the truth then."

Lin Fan said, "Alright, I am willing to cooperate with Senior!"

Stone Emperor nodded his head and ultimately said, "Next, you should stay here and focus on your cultivation. Currently, your strength is too weak. With your level of strength, seeking out Hu Mei’er would be like an egg smashing against a rock. It is simply seeking death. It’s a pity that I cannot leave this place; otherwise, I would definitely face the Female Demon in a battle to the death!"

As he said this, Stone Emperor seemed to remember something suddenly and pointed to the Stone Men surrounding them, "That’s right, these Stone Men can help you improve your strength."

Only then did Lin Fan think of the Stone Men around him and could not help but ask, "Senior Stone Emperor, I am very curious, how did these Stone Men come to be?"

"Haha!"

Stone Emperor laughed and said, "These are the Puppets that I have refined. Staying here alone is extremely boring, so I created these Stone Men for amusement."

"Okay then!"

Lin Fan did not know what else to say.

For over four hundred years, Stone Emperor had been here, and it was certain that these four hundred years had not been easy for him. Alone, without anyone to talk to, and what’s more, he had turned into this neither human nor ghostly form, living a life worse than death.

At that moment, Stone Emperor gestured with a wave of his hand.

Suddenly, a Stone Man charged towards Lin Fan, unleashing a barrage of attacks.

"Not good!"

Lin Fan was startled; he had not expected that Stone Emperor would suddenly command the Stone Man to attack him.

However, Lin Fan quickly understood that Stone Emperor was testing him.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan charged towards the attacking Stone Man.

Soon, Lin Fan was thoroughly engaged in combat with the Stone Man.

It must be said, the Stone Men here were indeed very powerful, at least much stronger than the Stone Men outside. Initially, Lin Fan could only fight the Stone Man to a stalemate.

"Hmm?"

Meanwhile, Stone Emperor was always observing Lin Fan’s combat.

At first, Stone Emperor appeared very calm, but after a while, a look of astonishment finally crossed his face.

"This guy, what kind of technique is he using? His combat technique is so formidable?"

Although Stone Emperor had seen and known much, he had never seen the Combat Five-Character Technique. Thus, after Lin Fan started to use the Combat Five-Character Technique, Stone Emperor was so surprised.

Bang...

Finally, after more than a dozen moves, Lin Fan swept his spear across the Stone Man, sending the Stone Man’s body flying backward.

This battle ended in Lin Fan’s victory.

Moreover, after the battle just now, Lin Fan had achieved a significant improvement in the Combat Five-Character Technique. Things he couldn’t figure out before suddenly became clear, and he understood them all at once.

"Kill..."

Several more Stone Men charged at Lin Fan from around, and battle ensued once again.

In the following days, Lin Fan continuously fought against the Stone Men.

In between the battles, Lin Fan would contemplate and strive to break through the limits of the Combat Five-Character Technique. Of course, during this process, the Stone Emperor would often provide Lin Fan with guidance, which made Lin Fan’s progress in the Combat Five-Character Technique even faster.

Meanwhile, during this period, Lin Fan’s Cultivation also broke through, reaching the Middle Period Realm of the Elemental Mansion Realm.

One day, the Stone Emperor said to Lin Fan: "Lin Fan, your combat power is very strong now. If nothing unexpected happens, your ranking should be able to reach around 9,000 on the Dragon List."

After saying this, the Stone Emperor paused briefly before continuing: "To be honest, your progress astounds me. I’ve never seen anyone grow so fast. If we’re talking solely about talent, your talent now is undoubtedly the best in the Holy Soul Domain."

Lin Fan replied, "Thank you, Senior Stone Emperor, for your cultivation!"

The Stone Emperor nodded and said, "Well, we don’t need to linger on this topic anymore. Next, you should go outside and gain some real-world experience. Although your talent is exceptional, you must continuously undergo real-world challenges. Without experience, all achievements are merely theoretical and ultimately limited!"

"Go out?"

Lin Fan was a bit surprised and asked, "Senior, but how can I leave?"

During the days of his Cultivation, Lin Fan had always been searching for a way out, but unfortunately, he never found an exit.

The Stone Emperor, however, did not answer Lin Fan’s question but instead asked him, "Do you know where we are now?"

Lin Fan shook his head and replied, "I do not, Senior!"

The Stone Emperor said leisurely, "Actually, this place is an Ancient God Mansion!"

"What?"

Lin Fan was somewhat astonished. Another Ancient God Mansion?

Back on Heavenly Dragon Island, Lin Fan had obtained a great opportunity inside the Ancient God Mansion there, and now it turned out that this place was also an Ancient God Mansion?

The Stone Emperor continued: "Moreover, this Ancient God Mansion is no ordinary place; it is a very high-level Ancient God Mansion. Inside the Ancient God Mansion, there is a Personal Transmission Array. Once you gain the recognition of the Ancient God Mansion, you can refine this Personal Transmission Array. From then on, no matter where you are, as long as you are still within the Holy Soul Domain, you can use the Personal Transmission Array to return to this Ancient God Mansion, and through it, travel to any location in the Holy Soul Domain."

"This..."

After hearing the Stone Emperor’s words, Lin Fan couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.

This Mansion was so magical?

To possess a Personal Transmission Array?

It was simply unimaginable.

Lin Fan couldn’t help but say, "Since I can use the Personal Transmission Array to go anywhere, does that mean, in the future, I won’t need any other mode of transportation? No matter where I want to go, I just need to use the Personal Transmission Array?"

The Stone Emperor shook his head and said, "You’re thinking too much. Although the Personal Transmission Array can transport you anywhere you want to go, using it once will consume a significant amount of your energy. The farther the distance, the more energy it consumes, and recovering that energy is very difficult. So, unless it’s an emergency, using the Personal Transmission Array to travel is not worth the cost!"
